Director BP Singh will also accompany the actor to help in rescue operations in the Uttarakhand deluge

Members of the TV crime show CID actor Dayanand Shetty and director BP Singh will leave for Uttarakhand on Tuesday to lend help to victims of the devastating floods in the hill state, said a source.

Thousands of people are said to be either stranded or have gone missing after unprecedented rains and cloudburst led to landslides and flash floods, killing hundreds of people in the state.

CID is the longest running crime show on Indian television. Running successfully since 16 years, it features actors like Shivaji Satam and Aditya Srivastava. The show airs on Sony Entertainment Television.
